Hand Blender Safety

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.

2. To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury, do not immerse blender, its cord or plug, in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should not use this appliance.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to nearest WalMart (see warranty) for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or personal injury.

7. Do not use outdoors.

8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces including the stove.

9. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A spatula may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running.

10. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

11. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use included beaker, tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.

12. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

13. Avoid contacting moving parts.

14. Keep hands and utensils away from the chopper cutting blade while chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food chopper. A spatula may be used but only when the food chopper is not running.

15. Be certain food chopper cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.

16. Check food chopper bowl for the presence of foreign objects before using.

17. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopper attachment cutting blade on base without first putting bowl properly in place. Always place the motor housing on the chopper attachment after the cover is in place on the bowl. Remove the motor housing from the chopper attachment before removing the cover from the bowl.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into

a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

Wash all parts. See “How To Clean Your Hand Blender ”

1. Plug power cord into 120 volt AC outlet.

2. Place blade-end of unit directly into included beaker or bottom of a tall plastic container holding ingredients to be blended.

3. Your blender has

LO and HI

speeds for

quick blending. Press the

LO or HI

switch for continuous blending. Blending action stops when switch is released. NOTE: During use, it is normal for a suction to be created at the bottom of

the container.

4. For a short “burst” of blending, quickly push and release the

LO or HI

switch.

5. After blending, unplug unit.

CAUTION:

Do not use blender in saucepan directly on stovetop. Remove pan from heat before blending. To avoid splatter, never lift blender out of hot ingredients while motor is on (see ”Tips”, page 4.)

1. Make sure the unit is unplugged.

2. With the blade facing downward, twist the shaft clockwise until the motor housing and the blender separate.

3. Remove chopper bowl lid and add food contents. Be careful of sharp blade. Replace chopper bowl lid.

4. Attach the motor housing to the chopper attachment and turn until it locks. Use caution as the blade is very sharp.

5. Press switch to operate the chopper. The

setting is recommended for meats and cheese, and the LOsetting for vegetables, nuts, etc.

6. Detach the motor housing, remove the chopper bowl lid, and carefully take out the chopper blade.

7. Use a spatula or spoon to remove the processed food from the bowl.

8. A convenient storage cover is supplied with your food chopper so that you can store any leftover processed food.

Tips

Blending Guide

• For thorough blending, add liquid portion of recipe last (such as milk to ice cream for a milk shake). Exception: When blending a powdered mix with a liquid, add liquid first and then powder (such as milk for a diet drink or water for a soup mix).

• When processing bread, cracker and cookie crumbs or chopping nuts, use a covered container.

• Cut all solids (cooked meats, vegetables and fruit) into approximately 1-inch pieces before blending.

• Remember: The blender performs its tasks in seconds – not minutes. Stop blender and check the consistency before contents become too fine or overblended.

• Do not overtax the motor with extra-heavy loads such as stiff dough, cream cheese dips or butter.

• If blending action in container should stop during processing before mixture is smooth, unplug unit and remove ingredients from blade with rubber spatula. Plug in unit to complete blending.

• It may be necessary to stop blending action and remove blade-end from ingredients and reinsert several times before mixture becomes smooth.

•To make beverages icy cold, add one ice cube at a time (up to 6) to an alreadyblended mixture. Raise and lower blender in a steady motion until ice is crushed.

NOTE: Your blender is not designed to crush larger quantities of ice.

• For fluffy shakes, aerate upper part of mixture by raising blender from bottom of container.

•To chop fruits and vegetables, use chopper bowl accessory.

YOUR BLENDER WON’T

• Whip egg whites or skim milk stiff.

• Mash freshly boiled potatoes.

• Grind raw meat, coffee beans, or whole spices.

• Extract juices from fruits or vegetables.

• Grate cheese or chocolate.

SPLATTER-FREE BLENDING TIPS

1. Avoid lifting unit out of ingredients while motor is on.

2. To prevent spillage: Fill a container about two-thirds full. Suggested containers: Use included beaker for individual servings of drinks or shakes. For larger blending, use mixing bowl or measuring cup with a 2-cup capacity or larger.

3. When processing dry ingredients, use the chopper attachment, large cup or bowl. Make sure container is large enough to allow for free movement of ingredients during blending.
